Subject: v4.4-rc4 regression with direct-io
Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2015 14:39:02 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20151208213902.GA4212@linux.intel.com> (raw)

Hey Jan,

In my test setup this commit:

74cedf9b6c60 ("direct-io: Fix negative return from dio read beyond eof")

causes a regression with XFS and the test generic/113.  The test used to
pass, but with the above mentioned commit it just hangs indefinitely.

This commit went in between v4.4-rc3 and v4.4-rc4, and it looks like it was
marked for stable?

I've run "echo w > /proc/sysrq-trigger", and it doesn't list any locked
processes so I don't believe that this is a deadlock.  It looks like a
livelock?

My test setup is a pair of 4GiB PMEM partitions (one as the test device and
one as the scratch) in a qemu virtual machine.  This test did not involve DAX,
and turning DAX on makes the test pass once again.

Please let me know if you need any more info or have trouble reproducing the
issue.  I'm happy to test patches.

Thanks,
- Ross
